The Texas Senate could vote Friday to approve new congressional maps drawn to help Republicans win as many as five more House seats in next year’s midterm elections.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, who has represented Austin in Congress for 30 years, said Thursday he might not seek reelection in 2026 if the state’s newly approved redistricting map remains in place.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom used his Democratic supermajority to push a new congressional map that favors Democrats in an effort to nullify the expected new map from Texas.

California Democrats passed a trio of redistricting bills Thursday, a day after Republicans in the Texas House passed new maps of their own. Taken together, the package of bills backed by Democratic Gov.

California Democrats scored a victory after passing a plan that could net them five more House seats in the midterm elections.

California voters will decide in November on a redrawn congressional map aimed at helping Democrats gain five House seats.

Michigan has independent redistricting and a divided state government that pretty much take it out of the fight over congressional maps before 2026.
